In what will be a crucial matchup featuring two potential NFC playoff teams, the Los Angeles Rams travel across the country to visit the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to put the finishing touches on Week 11 on "Monday Night Football."
The Rams (6-3) are coming off a very impressive NFC West division win last Sunday against the Seattle Seahawks. They contained one of the best offenses in the NFL in that game and beat Seattle, 23-16. Rams cornerback Darious Williams recorded two interceptions off Seahawks QB Russell Wilson.
The Buccaneers (7-3) are coming off a statement win in their division as well, throttling the Carolina Panthers in the NFC South by a final score of 46-23. In the third quarter, Bucs running back Ronald Jones shredded the Panthers’ defense for a 98-yard touchdown run, and Tampa Bay never looked back after that.
